An example of this would be the Kaldra Equipment in [[Mirrodin block]].  This cycle consists of <c>Sword of Kaldra</c> from ''[[Mirrodin]]'', <c>Shield of Kaldra</c> from ''[[Darksteel]]'', and <c>Helm of Kaldra</c> from ''[[Fifth Dawn]]''.
Another example is the [[Ravnica block]] "[[Shock lands]]"; <c>Overgrown Tomb</c>, <c>Sacred Foundry</c>, <c>Temple Garden</c> and <c>Watery Grave</c> are from ''[[Ravnica]]'' Set, while <c>Godless Shrine</c>, <c>Steam Vents</c> and <c>Stomping Ground</c> are from ''[[Guildpact]]'' set. The mega cycle of shock lands is completed in ''[[Dissension]]'' with <c>Blood Crypt</c>, <c>Breeding Pool</c> and <c>Hallowed Fountain</c>.  The Ravnica block [[Karoo land|Karoo lands]] are another example of a mega cycle.  These bounce lands include <c>Boros Garrison</c>.  They all enter the battlefield tapped and require you to return a land you control to its owner's hand upon entering the battlefield.  They each tap for two mana.
